OT - favorite logo

If you guys have a moment, can you help me pick out a logo for a company I am trying to make?

It's a natural complementary and alternative health supplements and suppositories/enema company. We are dedicated to using scientifically studied natural, organic and wildcrafted herbs, extracts, supplements and vitamins to help alleviate chronic pain such as ulcerative colitis.

I myself am currently self experimenting with doses and different herbs such as stone root, slippery elm, turmeric, NAG, etc. Ultimately I would like to make herbal suppositories and enemas that can help with distal rectal inflammation, as for me enema and suppository 5-ASAs worked way better than oral 5-ASAs (esp sfRowasa). DIY enemas can be such a pain, especially with phosphatidylcholine enemas.

Here's the link to the poll, would love to hear which one is your favorite. Just want to know which one give you an immediate "wow/feel good/trust" feeling, if any. I really appreciate it any feedback!

The first one (#358) made me think of a hardwood flooring company at first glance and even after looking at it longer.

I like #309 out of all three because it's more relatable to the product compared to the others...#379 is just ok to me.

pb4 was it the design or the font style that made you think of the hardwood floor company?

I updated the poll so that the font is somewhat normalized and that only the design stands out as the major difference. But i guess I am just fishing for you to pick the one imagardner and I like the most (the hardwood one lol).. haha.

imagardener, yeah I liked that one too alot.

Thanks for the feedback, I really hope I can make some herbal enemas/suppositories one day specifically for UC/proctitis/proctosigmoiditis. I'll be sure to give you guys a great discount (no profit, only at cost)!

There's so much research into oral administration of X Y and Z but what about rectal? Thanks again!

I've created a few logos before and my feed back is 374 is my favorite, with 309 font, but to be honest I'm not a fan of the mortar and pestle. It makes sense to you and I, because we know how the concoctions are made, but I think to the general public, it'll be lost. Look at the logos of other big successful supplement companies and you'll get an idea of what works. Maybe tweak that for the niche you're focusing on(IBD)

good luck! I know I thought about this the week I was creating Vit-E Enema's nightly and would have just loved to purchase a few.

you've probably already read this, but some articles that helped us in our recent rebrand

Like maybe the image could be an enema bottle with a flower coming out of the top? and image and company name could be framed by a large suppository-shaped outline!

LOL, I just checked them out again, I love purple and I would choose #387 for that reason except there's 2 little brownish things at the left side of the bowl that look like turds now lol, I don't know if they're suppose to be carrots or ginseng or something but that's the first thing I noticed after I stopped concentrating on the color purple that I love so much, the next thing that my eyes were drawn to was those little turd looking things.

I'm difficult and nit-picky apparently but I'm just sharing what first grabs me when I look at something and the first thoughts that come to mind, not trying to be a hag but usually my honesty comes out sounding like that. lol!bee propolis caps 500mg one cap twice/dayomegas 369 caps one cap twice/dayprobiotics 10 billion cfu once/dayvitamins C-calcium ascorbate (easy on the gut) and vitamin A each once/dayProdiem fibre supplement one cap before bedI've also altered my diet (no junky stuff at all, processed, fast-foods, refined sugars, ect) and exercise regularly.I went from 30+ bloody BM's/day with lots of lower back pain to an average of 5/day no bleeding no back pain and completely formed stools, still have severe urgency issues.~~~~~~~~My bum is broken....there's a big crack down the middle of it!

I like simple, one color. Maybe you can simplify and be a little more abstract... I like them though, very nice. Not sure I dig the wide spacing on the type with the terd. A color option is always good but I notice I use one color logos more than full color because full color is too busy on a page with color imagery.Co-moderator: Ulcerative ColitisDiagnosed with Pancolitis, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux & Migraines.

Poopypantalones said...pb4 I doubt you are the only one who saw poo. Here in the UC forum it's guaranteed that most of us have turds on the brain!

LOL poopypantalones, I kinda figured others would see it that way too, I just felt bad that I was the first to point it out....I'm blaming my negative poopy attitude from having CD with no remission for so long hahaha!bee propolis caps 500mg one cap twice/dayomegas 369 caps one cap twice/dayprobiotics 10 billion cfu once/dayvitamins C-calcium ascorbate (easy on the gut) and vitamin A each once/dayProdiem fibre supplement one cap before bedI've also altered my diet (no junky stuff at all, processed, fast-foods, refined sugars, ect) and exercise regularly.I went from 30+ bloody BM's/day with lots of lower back pain to an average of 5/day no bleeding no back pain and completely formed stools, still have severe urgency issues.~~~~~~~~My bum is broken....there's a big crack down the middle of it!

Thank you all very much for all of your feedback. Thanks to you guys the turd is gone, but maybe it would be cool to have kept it in? Kind of like an inside joke for people with uc, maybe people without uc wouldn't think it looked like a turd...

anyways, I don't mean to keep spamming links, but here's the final vote and y'all can take a look at the designs:

I think I'm going with the purple one since 1) purple for IBD awareness and 2) it's more eye catching and memorable.

Looks great!
